Joliet, July 23rd, 1895 My Dear Samuel. Since your Telegram from South Pass, I have rec’d two letters – both of this week just past – I see by them that it was not your fault that we did not hear from you. The mails are much more uncertain than last year – I do hope that my weekly letters have not been as long in reaching you. If so I fear that you have oftimes been homesick [?] – You of course knew the cause of my silence – for you may always believe that I write you a letter each Sunday – or certainly Monday – I have not failed my Sunday letter but once since you left –
